Levono PC's

Intel processors have always been sold by Dell and IBM processors have always been sold by Levano. That has now changed. AMD is now becoming much more popular and Levono has decided to end their licensed agreement with IBM and start a new one with AMD. Levono PC's will now only utilize AMD processors.

Will this kind of popularity bring AMD to the forefront of all processor manufacturers?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ & FX-62

This new development from AMD proves the current grip it has on Intel. 5 Ghz has been the untouched mark by Intel; not even an overclocked system has reached it. AMD will clearly keep its current niche in the computer world. (The Master of Processor Design)

What makes Intel feel so secure in their progress?

AMD Skt AM2

The Socket AM2 has the ability to support DDR2 800 Mhz. This means the hypertransport front-side bus will still be a multiple of 800 and 1600. A Doubled RAM clock speed with the use of the on-chip memory regulator will result in half the memory latency between the RAM and the processor. Obviously, the doubled RAM clock speed will result in memory transfers up to two times faster.

Will doubling the RAM clock speed cause AMD to gain even more of an advantage over Intel?

Internet Explorer 7

Internet Explorer 7 has just been released. It seems to be quite a development. It seems to be bug free. It makes me wonder if this new development from Microsoft will continue to lessen the popularity of Mozilla Firefox. Speaking of which, they should be releasing a new version of their web browser shortly as well.

Do you think Internet Explorer 7 will outperform Mozilla Firefox?
